Extiverse. Breaching the frontier in Flarum forum and community management

luceos

Darkle this information isn't readily available to subscribers it seems, I'll update both the email and subscriptions page as soon as I can.
In the meantime this information can be requested through me.

Darkle

luceos Ok cool, apparently he's pretty strict with all the licensing stuff, I'll let him know. Thanks for the info!

A great improvement to the platform would be the ability to add reviews/comments to the extension. It shouldn't be used as a place to seek help but instead to express your opinion and suggest improvements which can be read by the author.

While Extiverse isn't an official part of Flarum, it would be an amazing QoL to be able to login with your Flarum account. At the moment the extension site doesn't look much like Flarum at all, none of the recognisable elements are present, not even the branding colour. It doesn't have to be a clone of this forum however it should invoke the feeling "Oh, this is clearly for Flarum." when looking at the design.

The most prominent example of an extension site that I like would have to be MyBB's Extend, perhaps you could take some inspiration from what they've done? MyBB Extend. Everything is laid out very clearly and you haven't got to guess what the icons mean.

You've done a great job with the site so far but I do believe there are improvements that could made to make it even more impressive.

I removed this after a period of 6 months. Hardly any reviews were written, were of very low quality or obviously done for a friend developer.

A redesign is planned. A dedicated homepage clarifying the purpose of extiverse as well.

Thank you! Extiverse is a huge time sync and it doesn't break even yet. I've been working on extiverse off and on in the little free time I have left next to all other obligations. Premium extensions have been the motivation to get started with it, and by itself that feature is already quite demanding in maintenance. I've also been working on several other features, so design hasn't received the attention it deserves. It will come though.

The reviews I wrote were certainly not low quality. They reflected reality and gave an accurate depiction in terms of use case etc.

I spent some time today envisioning a design that used Flarum's branding colour, while this isn't perfect and is rather rough around the edges, here's my two concept images. Hopefully it will aid in some inspiration for somebody when redesigning Extiverse.

Was made with TailwindCSS in a couple of hours. 🙂

katos

User11 really like the design, feels synonymous with the Flarum branding, and very familiar.
And with tailwind would be easy to add a dark mode function also.

Interested to see what @luceos would think 😀

Juba007

User11 First of all looks very good takes over beautifully the design of Flarum.

But I am unsure if it makes sense to take over the design and color so exactly, it could cause confusion since Extiverse is an external project so one could think it is officially part of Flarum.

And a question. What exavtly is the bell for? As far as I know there are no notifications on Extiverse.

katos

Juba007 The bell could be cool to be notified of updates, or reviews to your extensions, p'haps?
Unsure the direction @User11 meant there too 😉

Darkle

Juba007 Yes, it's true I would miss our purple boy, I really like Extiverse's branding, I think it's ok the design separation (still I think they have a good connection) as Extiverse doesn't represent open source as much (because of the premium extensions) as Flarum does and this is something that could confuse users and ask "Is Flarum or its features a paid software?"...

Instead Extiverse has that more marketplace look with which it fits better for this.

luceos

Extiverse has encountered an issue with a new extension. This causes a internal Server error. I will be looking into it within the hour.

Edit. Recovered.

luceos

[deleted] you are an exception. But your example was not followed. I will add this functionality again but I need to have a plan first. Simple as that as I reviewed each review by hand.

Darkle

luceos Yes, or maybe it would be good to put fields with questions to fill in the review, for example, Would you recommend this extension? How are you using the extension?... all of them with a minimum length, so all the reviews will have a common structure.

Hari

Extiverse.com not picking flarum updates, mercury too

recently ianm sir updated so many extensions but mercury is not showing updates and also at extiverse web version it is not showing as updated is it something related to exitverse or extension?

https://discuss.flarum.org/u/ianm

edit: how to check for all extension updates using composer?

luceos

Hari that's possible yes. I'd have to look into that.

IanM

Hari edit: how to check for all extension updates using composer?

composer show --outdated

luceos

Hari I've forced out an update for extiverse. Seems the sync, when the version was released failed. I hope Extiverse will now be able to keep up. If you notice any lagging extensions, do let me know here.

Hari

luceos as per composer show --outdated i at least need to see 5 or 6 updates but i can only see 2 updates in my dashboard. i will wait for 24hrs and will recheck.
